There are thousands of tests available for business use internationally. They vary from scientifically developed tests of genuine psychological dimensions and fitness for a job or promotion, to sets of questions that are little better than entertainment quizzes. Business use is one of the fastest growing areas of testing, and one where marketing is often used to cover deficiencies in an instrument. How do you chose the right test for your purpose? Different countries require different skills, knowledge, and qualifications to use formal psychological tests, yet some seem freely available on the web. This situation offers you choice, but challenges users to find the single best test for a job in hand.

This white paper looks at test use in business contexts: recruitment, development, succession planning, coaching and other people-related issues at work. It aims to help you evaluate the range of tests available, and chose the one that will most benefit you and your clients.

  • Information resources

  • Practical issues

  • Bodies offering test information

  • Technical Issues
  • Making your decision
